Each delightful package includes the following:
History of our Bed and breakfast Inn
The history of our Bed and breakfast Inn begins in 1904 when Robert Garrett built it as a residence for himself and wife, Adeline. The home was built after he sold the Smith-McDowell House (circa 1840), currently located around the corner on the campus of AB Tech and today is a museum.
Formerly known as the Garrett House, our Inn was one of 15 houses in the affluent small town of Victoria. Victoria was incorporated as a town in response to George W. Vanderbilt’s attempt to buy the property called Fernihurst on Vernon Hill, about 8 blocks from the Lodge. As we all know, Vanderbilt ended up buying property across the river instead, where he built the famous Biltmore Estate – the largest home in America. Many believe Fernihurst provides a better view!
Vanderbilt did eventually acquire some land here in Victoria. He built several large villas as rental “cottages” on Vernon Hill. It was in these houses where the visiting elite stayed. The cottages were “completely furnished, except for silver, linen, and blankets” and rented for $200-$350 a month in 1900. Only one survives today, Sunnicrest, located about 8 blocks from the Inn, on the A-B Tech campus. Adeline maintained her position as a social leader in the community despite the move from the Smith-McDowell House to what is now our Inn. The local newspaper, The Asheville Citizen, reported on two classes held regularly at her home for “outdoor study”.
The Inn started its life as a shingle-style cottage with porches on both the first and second floors. Certainly, Adeline maintained her position as a social leader for the town of Victoria, despite the move they made from the Smith-McDowell House. Because they eventually moved from the area, little is known about the Garrett’s remaining years.

Our Bed and Breakfast Inn as it looked in 1918
Then in 1918 G. P. Terrill occupied the home which was now in the City of Asheville (annexed in 1905) and the little lane of Oakland Road became a city street. Five years later, M. J. Corcoran purchased it and turned it into a tuberculosis rest home, a common practice in the 1920’s. Some of the best B and Bs in Asheville were once tuberculosis rest homes. All the porches were enclosed to provide bed space.
In 1936 Wallace B. Kelly, a Southern Railroad Pullman porter, purchased the home and lived here until his death in 1979. During the Kelly years, many changes took place. A rock exterior covered the original clapboard lower siding in 1949. A stone porte-cochere followed the next year. After Mr. Kelly’s death, the house was used as rental property by members of his family, but by 1987 the house had deteriorated to the point where the city condemned it. The house stood empty and derelict until purchased by Herb and Lois Marsh in 1990.
For five years they undertook a major refurbishing of the property, restoring it to the glamour it once had but with modern comfort and convenience. In 1998 another expansion created additional guest rooms and innkeepers’ quarters, along with the gazebo and fountain in the garden.
The Inn had 2 subsequent sets of owners who both became excellent stewards of her legacy until August 2018 when the Inn was purchased by the current owners.

LAUNCH OF EXQUISITE CARD DISCOUNT LOYALTY PROGRAM FOR ACCOMMODATION & CAR HIRE
As an hotelier of some 40 years standing – 22 years of which as the original owner/operator of Villa Belmonte Manor House Hotel in Cape Town, I am so very pleased and proud to introduce our new venture, namely Exquisite Card™, to you, to meet the needs of Internet-driven travellers who have the power and inclination to plan their holidays or business trips themselves and accordingly reserve flights, accommodation and car hire, etc. directly with service providers.
Exquisite Card offers discounts to this new kind of traveller through a discount card and/or voucher, which entitles the holder to +-20% discount on accommodation - as well as a variety of excellent additional special offers from time to time (including additional discounts on food and beverages) - on more than 5000 four and five star-standard hotels, boutique hotels, guesthouses, lodges and self-catering rooms in twelve African countries, and increasing in numbers and generally, a spread of properties throughout Africa and the rest of the World on a daily basis. The card or voucher is purchased through a secure e-commerce portal at www.exquisitehotelconsultants.com
At a cost of R 390 for a one-year card, R 690 for a two-year card, or R29 for a daily voucher (yes, you can be a member of Exquisite Card™ for just one night if you wish!). This is an insignificant charge compared to the savings made on just one night’s accommodation and other tourism services like car hire and spa treatments etc. Note that we are also currently negotiating with domestic and foreign airlines, restaurants, hired car groups, etc for similar discounts.
How does it work? The cardholder searches the Exquisite Card website for partnering establishments and services, then books directly, stating the card or voucher number. The hotel then charges the client an average of 20% less than the published rate. Nearly two hundred top properties have already become Exquisite Card partners. If you’re wondering, “Where’s the catch?” there quite simply isn’t one. Hotels/Guesthouses want more business, travellers want to pay less and Exquisite Card™ discounts bring the two parties together and make everybody happy! All establishments and partners of Exquisite Card are expected to meet rigorous standards, because our members expect a high level of product and service.
So, please do browse the website and become a member of Exquisite Card™ when next you travel. Should you have any queries whatsoever, please do not hesitate to contact myself at (27) (21) 84 413 1071 or via email at cliff@exquisitehotelconsultants.co.za.
